The best waterfalls in Bali, not to be missed

Nungnung waterfalls are some of the best waterfalls you can visit if you are in Ubud, which is about 1 hour away.


These waterfalls are not too touristy and with few people, also because the route is quite challenging and not suitable for everyone.

In fact, to get to them you have to walk more than 500 steps and then obviously climb back up.. Of course, the spectacle compensates the effort, the view of a 50 meters high waterfall is something unique!

You can combine a visit to Nung Nung with the nearby Leke Leke.

6. Tegenungan waterfall to Ubud

The best waterfalls in Bali, not to be missed

Tegenungan is the closest waterfall to Ubud, reason why also it is one of the most famous and tourist of the island of Bali.

A cascade of about 15 meters of height, powerful and with several viewpoints where to take pictures.

Unlike many other waterfalls, Tegenungan is not located in the mountains, but in spite of this, the nature that surrounds it always offers a beautiful spectacle.

However, if you are looking for an unpolluted place with few people, this is not the best waterfall. In any case, it is preferable to visit it early in the morning, when it is not yet too crowded with tourists.

On the contrary Tegenungan is the perfect place for real instagrammers, thanks also to particular objects that frame such as: a giant heart, a bamboo nest and the inevitable swing.


7. Kanto Lampo Waterfall

Another unmissable stop for those departing from Ubud. Access to the waterfall is not complicated but be careful with the slippery rocks. I recommend wearing appropriate shoes.

Note that to admire the waterfall from the best point you must necessarily dive into the water. As always, the advice is to arrive early in the morning, also because the space is not large.

The entrance fee is 20,000 IDR, but lockers to leave your things are also included. You can combine the falls with a visit to the Goa Gajah temple.

8. Leke Leke Falls

Leke Leke is one of those still little known waterfalls. They are an hour's drive from Ubud and already worth the trip, with splendid views over the rice terraces.

It can also be easily reached from Canggu in about an hour. The entrance to the waterfall costs 30,000 rupiah and you will also find a restaurant where you can buy some food and water before starting the adventure to the waterfall.

The trail is surrounded by nature and is quite simple and well maintained, it also passes over a couple of bamboo bridges, the hike takes about 15 minutes.

The view of the waterfall is incredible, a narrow stream of water that falls into a natural pool where you can dive.

You can combine the visit to the waterfall with other attractions such as the Pura Ulun Danu Bratan temple.

Tukad Cepung is without a doubt one of the most particular and wonderful waterfalls of Bali. In fact, it is located inside a canyon to 15 meters under the earth illuminated by the rays of the sun that penetrate from the opening of the cave, giving an incredible view.

The 15-minute hike is not too demanding between concrete paths, stairs and a small stream.

Just be careful that if it rains too much there may be flooding and the path may be more difficult.
